Pseudo sickness.
An adolescent who presented with 'haematuria,' which was later proved to be urine to which his mother had added her blood, is reported. This is to draw attention to the possibility of pseudo sickness in inexplicable situations and to emphasize the need to record history from the patient himself whenever possible.
